Guns N' Roses Appetite For Destruction RIAA 8x Multi-Platinum Award

RIAA 8x Multi-Platinum album award for Guns N' Roses debut album Appetite For Destruction. Appetite was released on July 21, 1987 and certified 8x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA on July 26, 1989 for eight million copies sold, which this award celebrates. Appetite topped the Billboard Top 200 Album chart and became the best-selling debut album of all time in the U.S. One could argue that "Welcome To The Jungle" changed music, ushering out "hair metal" and in a new, harder-edged strain of rock into the mainstream. The melodic guitar lines of "Sweet Child o' Mine" and anthemic "Paradise City" also helped power the album's success. By 2008, the album was certified an amazing 18x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA for 18 million sold in the U.S. alone. See image above for the RIAA sales certification data of this album*.
